Thought i'd give this a bump again in case anyone missed this the first time around. I expect to cover a number of things including hamaguri edge basics, the tips of single bevel knives, uraoshi construction, how to spot common problems, how to fix common problems, how to maintain blade shapes, the use of microbevels on single bevel knives, and the basics of kasumi finishes. If you're interested in signing up, let me know.

I'll e-mail you it as soon as I download skype and register. I haven't yet. :sorry:

Also, is a webcam necessary? I was hoping to watch and learn more than participate and ask questions this time.

Thanks.

webcam not necessary, but mic and speakers are a must

I know I have speakers, I'm pretty sure my laptop has a built in microphone. Do you know if 802.11b is fast enough?
